Outcome

We held a ten week consultation from 20 March to 2 June 2017 to find out what good housing means to local people. This information was used to decide if we need a selective licensing scheme in north Manchester.

After reviewing comments from landlords and residents, we have decided to formally designate a selective licensing area within Moston. This means that landlords and managing agents in specific parts of Moston will need a licence to rent a home. If you are a landlord in the area, you have up to 23 April 2018 to apply for a licence.

The scheme aims to improve management standards and conditions of private rented housing and support the reduction of antisocial behaviour. For now, we are focussing on a small part of Moston, covering an area of around 400 private sector homes.
